I bought this bra online after having a fitting for the Caitlyn Elomi bra in a store at the nearest big center to me. My town just doesn't offer the selection available online. This is THE bra for me. It is super supportive especially on the side (no chicken wings) and yet comfy. I find the bra needed very little adjustment once I received it. Thank you for offering this product for people like me!

Several years ago, I went to a bra-fitting event at a high end retail store. The bra chosen was this Wacoal Simply Stated. I've continued to use this brand since! Sadly, the stores don't carry this style so I was ecstatic to find it at Bare Necessities!
For me, the best feature is the strap. It's a bit wider and padded shoulder strap that makes wearing this bra extremely comfortable. The underwires are light weight enough, you don't notice them, nor do they "dig" into you like many underwires do. It works great under t-shirts. The bra itself wears well, and lasts a long time as long as you properly take care of it. (My original Wacoal lasted 8 years, until the underwire broke. Otherwise, it was still in excellent condition).

Once this is on it's very comfortable but it's difficult to get on (I'm 32DD). I've found that if I pull it down a lot as I put it on, it's a bit easier. It's also not as supportive as I thought it would be. I can't wear this for runs.

I just purchased this bra last month and I'm so in love, the straps are a great width, it gives great coverage and support, and its very comfortable...the only down side is that this bra squeaks when you move and its annoying.

I've been wearing the Anita basic nursing bras for 2 rounds of nursing, and I love them. They recently got too big, so I decided to try this in a smaller size. The fit is great and offers excellent support. The fabric is a little thicker than the basic (5036) I think, but still totally flexible and doesn't get in the way when you're pulling the cups down to nurse. My only complaint, and the thing that's most different from the other style, is that this bra seems to lift and shape more, so that under clothes I just feel like my breasts look a little bit high and the tiniest bit pointy. That's not my favorite thing, but it's not bad enough to offset having a bra that's both really snug and super comfortable.

I bought this last month and love it! I usually have trouble with finding a bra. I am 5'8" and a 34G so I want support, comfort, and something that isn't going to cause underarm or back fat bulges. FOUND it! It is not itchy or jabbing with the wire and covers very well. The straps are soft but supportive. I have broad shoulders and these straps might be too broad for someone with really narrow shoulders. If you are average to broad shouldered they are great. Where the lace at the top of the cup is sewn to the cloth on the bottom of the cup, the impression of the seam can be seen through a soft silky shirt because it is a little thicker.

I bought this for my daughter to wear under her wedding dress. We added clear bra straps for extra support (maybe Elomi will consider adding this option?) without ruining the design of her dress. Her dress has a full bodice and sleeves (not strapless).

I have three needs and no bra meets all needs.
One, for support, heavy duty w/ restricted breast movement, no weight on the shoulders.
Two, for a bra that is seamless to wear under knits, fits my breasts well, provides enough support to give a decent shape
Three, a minimizer.
Simone Perele's Andorra meets #s2 &3: it doesn't minimize a lot, but the shape is attractive. And I think the bra is very attractive on - and feels nice - I have them in nude and black, blue, brown, red, and peach.

My go to bra. I love this one. I am up a few sizes now due to pregnancy nursing, and this is not available in my size unfortunately I have a drawer full of them and use bra extenders with them now, because I like them that much. When they fit right, it's so good. Nice shape, not smushed, not pointy. Durable. I actually came to this site looking for this in a larger cup, but ended up ordering three other styles instead (that do come in G) hoping one would be as nice. Fingers crossed, just ordered.

Michele R the em BRA ssador suggested this bra when i said I needed a bra to dance in that had nipple coverage wicking and didn't create "armpit boob" as most sports bras do....just squish everything up an over.....to my great surprise not only wearing the right size, but the fir of this bra emilinates my fat rolls so i can wear closer fitting my exercise tops with confidence! Not much bounce, either....I think I can wear this to work too. Very comfortable! I bought 3 and i think i'm going to buy two more!

I'm a 32gg in Panache and got this one in 32h but the cups were too small. I should have hh or i cup size. This was my forest time trying this brands.
The straps are just barely long enough to maybe becomfortable at their longest setting. I am 5'8".
The material is gorgeous. The stretch material in the lining is soft and luxurious.
I am used to a rounded shape and this one was more pointy. (More pointy than Panache Tango.) Also the cups are angled out and down. But I can see how a bit of a point could be a slimming look. My girls looked smaller than their usual 8D, rounded fullness.

This bra is so pretty and comfortable at the same time- I have them in several colors. It also gives a nice shape in clothing; sometimes large breasts looked pushed in or droopy but nice and perky with this bra! Had to size up due to European sizing but once I got it right, it became my favorite.

This is my second favorite bra ever, and the sale right now is incredible. Please don't ever discontinue this. I love that I can have a supportive bra that is still delicate and pretty without feeling like I'm wearing a straight jacket.

This is a gorgeous high quality well made (thick fabric, soft!) bra. I wanted to keep it so bad, but it wasn't a good fit for me unfortunately. The convert me feature gave me a size that seemed as though it would be way to large, but I ordered it anyway, and the cups were too small, straps way too long for me as well. If I had all the sizes to try on I could probably get a good fit, but it's hard to estimate when you are ordering on line (and wearing the wrong bra in the 1st place) The band size is spot on. I would recommend getting one cup sz larger than the convert me gives you for this one. The side support comes from the cup style and construction, there are no side stays.

I can see why many have recommended this bra but sadly it did not work for me. I thought the nude color was pleasing and disappears under clothes. Padding was thin yet supportive. Nice detail on the straps. I wish the straps we're wider in larger cup sizes. There was not enough coverage for me. Trying other styles in this brand

I bought two of these last month and they fit well, provide excellent support, and are very pretty. For reference, I wear a 34 J and it is difficult to find a bra that covers all of these qualities in one garment. Definitely reccomend!

I have an hourglass shape (upper torso mostly rib cage), and it's not easy to find bras that fit quite right, but this one is great. Not quite parfait (perfect), but pretty close. Cups are a little smaller because of the thickness, but a larger cup might be too big.

I'm a big fan of Goddess bras but new to this one. I think it's a great bra. Really comfortable which is most important to me and great quality. Does a great job of shaping. I don't really see that it has a lot of side support but still with such a great fit and being so comfortable it's well worth it.

I purchased 3 Empreinte bras - the Melody, Maya and Cassiopee. I have a full bust (36G) with a lot of side breast tissue; the Empreinte styling and side support gives me the best fit and comfort I need. I do not have any spillage or bulging with any of these 3 designs. The fit also keeps a normal, rounded shape to my breasts. (Not pointy or smushed.) At my local lingerie store, Empreinte bras are usually priced at $210 or more ( which I've paid before I learned of bare necessities) and they are NEVER on sale!
AND, more importantly, these bras are extremely well made - they launder well ( hand wash and even delicate cycle in the machine) - and they keep their shaping!
Thanks bare necessities for GREAT SALES!!!!

The band on the 30F is tighter than the band size on the 30E. I ordered 2 bras in different colors, but the same cup size, and one ran much larger than the other. Overall, a beautiful and very supportive bra onc you find the right size.

This is a great supportive uplifting bra so comfortable I wear it all day long the support I get from this bra is essential even after work I can wear this bra to the gym and do light exercise is like yoga but don't forget to pack your sports bra yes just like exercise like walking in yoga but the sports bra is essential for other activities

Bought 2 online after I couldn't find one locally for a bridesmaids dress... This one fit perfectly and was comfortable all afternoon and evening long. Ended up returning the one I bought from another website

I bought this bustier after reading several reviews that recommended buying a cup size down and a bust size up. This bustier fit perfectly! My seamstress also informed me that this bustier can be adjusted in the back so it won't show under dresses with more of your back exposed. I had no idea but thought it was so cool! This is also very comfortable.

The most comfortable bra ever! Even after a 12+ hour day of work, I honestly forget that I have it on. The band was snug at first, but it relaxed after washing. If you are between sizes, you might want to size down rather than up. It does come up higher under the arms than some other bras, so it might show under sleeveless shirts. I think that helps bring the "girls" more forward, which was what I was looking for. The center gore is narrow, which is great for close set breasts. There is no padding, but the fabric is substantial so it helps minimize embarrassing" headlights".

I bought this to wear with my wedding dress as it has a low back. Although the many hooks down the back was not convienent, it was not an insurmountable problem. I am 5'10, 40D, and weigh 210lbs, dress size 16 and this bustier fit beautifully (I bought a 40D). It is shaping without being restrictive, stays in place well, and is comfortable. The bottom of the bustier flares out a bit which makes it fit so well. Awesome. I expected to suffer through wearing it for one day but am sure I will wear it on many occasions.

This bra is great for open back/low back tops and dresses. As a busty woman I tend to stay clear of such styles. With the sexy back lace feature of this bra, I have a broader selection when clothes shopping. It's also great with racerback styles.
